Virgin Mobile broadband coverage

Coverage is one of the most important things to take into consideration when choosing a mobile broadband package. Now you can check Virgin Mobile coverage and speeds in your postcode, at www.VirginMedia.com/Coverage-Checker.

Mobile broadband uses the mobile phone network to get you online, but because it’s 3G rather than a standard mobile connection, you can’t be guaranteed coverage in every corner of the country. Because of this, it’s very important that you compare coverage before you sign a contract.

Virgin Media's 3G mobile broadband network covers over 85% of the UK. You can get information on which specific areas are covered by visiting the ISP’s website. For Virgin mobile broadband coverage in your area visit www.VirginMedia.com/Coverage-Checker.

Virgin Media mobile broadband packages

Virgin Media offers two mobile broadband packages, one with a 1GB monthly download allowance and one offering 3GB a month. You also get a choice of two contract lengths; a rolling two-month contract - where you have to pay a one-off fee for your mobile dongle - or an 18 month plan which comes with a free USB modem stick.

What is mobile broadband?

Mobile broadband, or 3G broadband as it is also known, uses the mobile phone network to connect you to the internet without wires, wherever you are - as long as you’ve got a signal.

When you sign up to a mobile broadband package from Virgin Media you’ll get a USB dongle that simply slots into the side of your laptop.

Virgin Media mobile broadband offers speeds of up to 3.6Mb, but your actual download speed will depend on the coverage in your area.
